  • To our readers: This is the first issue of the WESTERN CAROLINIAN ever composed and put together in our offices on campus. Both our headline machine and our type-composing machine were malfunctioning throughout the session; because of this and our lack of real familiarity with the new process, the CAROLINIAN is far from perfect. For this we a- pologize to both our readers and our advertisers. But please bear with us and watch the. the CAROLINIAN grow into the best paper in the Conference. Thanks JNT TheWESTERN CAROLINIAN VOICE OF THE STUDENTS VOL. XXXII, NO. 1 Iriday, September 16. 1966 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Reid Speaks To Pre-Session Pre-Session Conference Is Held Conference New Social DeMlS Davis, Zeigler Will Serve Here "Student leaders have a Key role in making a good college. We .ire most fortunate in our student leaders and by reason of this have advanced the col- leg; to where it is today.* These are the opening lines of the message given by Dr. Paul A. Reid, President of Western Carolina College, in his address to the Thirty-Second Annual Pre-Session Conference held here September 1st through 3rd. Dr. Reid continued with the statement that "through the efforts of responsible student lea- lership the state of North Carolina and the state legislature have recognized Western Carolina College.- He added. "My responsibilities would be harder without the fine student leaders we have." Recognition which the college has received recently included a high rank on the National Teacher Education Examinations administered to senior Education majors here last year. Reid noted that the colleges position was just under that obtained by the University of North Carolina at Raleigh. Another item of recognition concerned the visit of the State's Advisoty Budget Commmission which was here for the purpose of making recommendations to the General Assembly of the State Legislature. Western Carolina College was the first visit the Commission had made on its statewide tour before appearing at the General Assembly. "We are encouraged by s :aj of the recognition which has come to the college,0 Reid said. He commended Mr. Bill Upchurch, Student Body President, and other officers of the Student Senate for their work over the summer in preparation for the Conference and the coming year. He also recognized Dean of Student Affairs, Taylor L. Huskins, for his "unfailing work with the students and the College* without a break over the summer. Commenting on a few of the problems which the college will face this year, Reid said, "We all have a challenge which we hav^ :iv.'->r had before on this campus*. He noted that enroll- meril this year is anticipated to be up *o 3500 students. This Dr. Reid said was a net gain of 500 students over an enrollment of 3000 last year. Additional dormitory spaces totaling 800 have been added, but, according to Reid, it was decided to hald the total enrollment d.iv; from the 800 students that could be accommodated. As a final word, Dr. Reid said, "We will always have problems, It is a matter of how we face up to these problems." He asked that the students of the Pre-Session Conference "think positively and work positively to make this year one of the very best years ever had." President Paul A. Reid has recently announced the appointments of a new Dean of Men and a new Dean of Women at Western Carolina College. Dr. Douglas W. Davis, the new Dean of Men, is a native of Asheville, North Carolina. He attended Mars Hill College and received his B„ S. degree at Western Carolina College in 1949. He did graduate work in audio-visual education, physi- education, and mathematics at Teachers College of Columbia University. In 1950 Dean Davis was audiovisual coordinator and elementary physical education coordinator of Swannanoa High School. Dr. Davis was a supervising teacher at McKee Train ing School. He has been coaching and teaching at Queens College the City University of New York in Flushing, for the past ten years. Mrs. Peggy Zeigler who is the new Dean of Women, is a native of Birmingham, Alabama and a graduate of Judson College in Marion, Alabama. Dean Zeigler has done graduate work at George Washington U- niversity and received her master's degree in guidance and counseling at Western Carolina in 1965. From 1958 to 1960, Mrs. Zeigler was in Tokyo, Japan as an English teacher under the auspices of the University of Maryland extension program. She taught men of the United States Armed Forces while in Japan. In 1963-64, she served as psychometrist-secretary at the Guidance Clinic at WCC, and previously was a physical education teacher in Prince George County Schools in Maryland. Mrs. Zeigler served as director of guidance in the Buncombe County School System from 1964 to 1966 Dr. Doug Davis Dean of Men Miss Peggy Zeigler Dean of Women Pre-Session Recommendations Listed below are some of the more important recommendations to come out of the 1966 Pre-Session Conference. 1. The College Center Board in cooperation with all inter ested organizations endeavor to develop and expand the facilities at the College Campsite such as a road to the beach, a bost dock, extension to the present building, and or a pavilion. 3. After the beginning of the class hour, students must wait ten minutes for any college teacher and if this teacher does not show, the class be automatically dismissed. 4. The rule found on page 45 of the Student Handbook under Off Campus Housing Regula- Better Co-operation Is Basic Theme Followed By Leaders Bill Upchurch, Student Body President tions article 6 be changed to read that "Permissions be granted to students in Greek organizations to have the privilege of living together off campus as well as in the college dormitories." 1966-67 Student Handbook governing the consumption of alcoholic beverages be changed to read specifically that (a) the individual organization be permitted to use their own discretion concerning consumption of alcoholic beverages at closed off campus events, and if any questionable conduct or breach of social etiquette occur, the sponsors of the orga ization and/or chaperones at the event shall call disciplinary attention to this conduct. The Thirty-Second Annual Pre-Session Conference was held at Western Carolina College from Thursday, September 3. Eighty-one students, leaders and interested participants were in attendance along with representatives from the faculty and administration. As noted by College President Paul A. Reid, this was the largest opening attendance for any Conference. Among the recommendations offered by the Conference were a number dealing specifically with student rights. The primary impetus for this movement stemmed from a recommendation that the Student Senate formulate a Student Bill of Rights in cooperation with the American Association ot University Professors Steps were also taken by the Conference, through recommendations, to bolster the recently formed College Center Board. These included the CCB's development and expansion of the College Campsite and bus transportation to athletic events. Some of the other provisions asked for by the student assembly in the form of recommendations included frateri- ty housing, student representation on standing college committees, additional Day Student representation in Student Government, closed study for freshmen male students, and increased Men's and Women's House Government responsibilities. University status for Western Carolina College was touched on with the recommendation that the general calibre of the college be upgraded and the Course Evaluation Project started last year by the Student Senate be continued. A . Carolinas Conference Student Government was asked for in order that problems and ideas between the colleges with which Western Carolina College has contact be heard and dealt with. The overall theme for the Conference, "Better Co-operation through Understanding and Knowledge*, was presented to the assembly at the first session Thursday morning by Mr. Bill Upchurch, Student Body President. In his remarks, Mr. Upchurch stressed that it is the student leader's responsibility to guide the students of the college. "He must inform himself of the rights and responsibilities of the student on the campus. He ;rust be aware of what needs being done to improve these for the betterment of the college*. He also stated that all regulations for both Mne's and Women's House Governments were, this year, included in the Student Handbook along with General and College Regulations. He urged that the students know these regulations. "The stud- end who is well informed of his rights will seldom fall victim to prohibitions and restrictions. * The Pre-Session Conference Constitution underwent certain revisions also in the first session of the assembly. The most noteworthy of these concerned voting privileges for interested students other than recognized student leaders. It was recommended and passed that any student who was interested in the affairs of the student body and the college and who showed this interest by his participation in the Conference would have a vote. Mr. Up- Church commented on this revision noting (he high number of participants at this year's Conference who were not recognized student leaders. He said that these votes would replace those of official delegates who did not attend. Topics for discussion presented to the various sessions of the three day event included "Better Co-operation through Understanding and Knowledge of Administrative Problems", "Better Co-operation through Understanding and Knowledge of Administrative Problems,* "Better Co-operation through Knowledge and Understanding of Faculty Problems," and "Progress and the Student Government—Past, Present and Fut-
